Those are kind words, about a gorgeous coin!
For those interested, I have an additional coin from that same roll of gilt coins that I am willing to part with - but due to BTC value it would need to be a trade done within canada.
Topic: [WTS] Silver/Gilt 1 BTC Casascius Coin from 2013 (Read 1013 times)
From my buyer's perspective, sharing one factor in the sale FWIW: I valued the clear provenance extremely highly, probably higher than most. Given the high cost of 1 BTC nowadays, I personally require a very strong lineage before even considering making an offer.
That mattered to me more than the fact that it's ungraded and not the most perfect specimen -- though I still look for a certain minimum quality, and I also highly valued that the coin was handled and stored very carefully for all of these years.
OP showed where the coin was bought from, which the original owner vouched for; the original owner is a long-time member who sourced the coin directly from Mike Caldwell. And we have records from 10 years ago showing all of this, with the timelines matching when the coin was produced (one of the final batches ever produced). So all of that was important in my purchasing decision.
Finally, I wanted to finally secure a coin relatively quickly after starting a halfhearted attempt three years ago. The silver gilts seem relatively rare nowadays, with a nice one only appearing once every few months on these forums, so I didn't want to wait a few more months/years for another good coin to show up.
Different buyers will have different factors they value, but those were mine.

Confirming the transaction has completed and the coin was sold to Aria42 for 1.35btc.
Thanks to minerjones for brokering this deal. For posterity, the offers on this coin ranged from 1.15 at the lowest to 1.52 at the highest. Offers that were higher than the sell price obviously did not pan out and I attribute that to the recent run up in BTC/USD while this coin was on offer. Thanks to everyone for their interest.

We have come to an agreement and have completed the transaction. minerjones has received and confirmed the coin, and it is pending a transfer to me.
PantsParty, minerjones, I have received your latest messages, acknowledging here (my last PM to you both seems to have fully consumed my 2 PM/day limit).
I received a PM from minerjones, but I'm blocked by the PM limit for another half a day, so I'll wait until that clears up before proceeding.
Confirming that there is a pending deal with Aria42 - minerjones will reach out to you for next steps.
I have a tentative deal with PantsParty set up and we are planning to ask minerjones to help with escrow. I've hit my PM limit though, so this post serves as my acknowledgement of the pending deal.
I've changed my messaging settings, if you're making an offer ensure that you've done the same so that I can contact you regarding your offers.
I'm interested in making an offer, though I'm unable to send a PM because of my Newbie rank:
Please let me know if you're still looking for offers, PantsParty. Thanks!

Looks like the coin is back up for sale, I'm taking offers again.
I too would be very interested in the sale price
Thanks to everyone who has pm'd me offers I can't respond to everyone because of the limits on my account but I am trying! As in the edit on the top, the coin is pending a sale. If you'd like to pm an offer still you can but it would only be entertained if this tentative sale falls though. Thanks!
Congratulations on this sale, fingers crossed it goes through.
Can you please be so kind to disclose the final sale price so buyers and sellers know as a historical point of reference.
Thankyou PantsParty!

Whitelisted you just now. the restrictions associated with the newbie rank have been reduced. You should also receive a confirmation PM.
Good luck with the sale!
Congrats on all the offers. The gilt Cas is certainly one of the most special. Congrats to the buyer.
